Circle K

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when Circle K’s neon sign glowed brightly, a delivery driver noticed something odd. Every time he parked near the gas pumps, his truck’s odometer would inexplicably roll back one mile. Confused and curious, the driver mentioned it to a nearby customer. ‘Oh,’ said an elderly gentleman with a twinkle in his eye. ‘That’s just old Circle K trying to get you to come back for another fill-up.’ The next day, the odometer rolled backwards again—right after the owner changed the neon sign's bulb.

2. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled up to fill the tank, he heard an odd sound coming from inside the Circle K. Curious, he peered through the window and saw a shadowy figure rearranging the candy display. The delivery driver quietly opened the door, and the figure turned around with a mischievous smile. It was just their neighbor, who’d been helping himself to free snacks after a long night shift. They exchanged knowing grins, and the neighbor whispered, ‘Don’t tell anyone—this is our little secret!’

3. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled up to fill the tank, he noticed an old vinyl record protruding from under the gas pump cover. Curious, he picked it up—it was “Nevermind” by Nirvana, scratched but intact. As he popped in the earphones, the song started playing faintly—static and scratchy, yet recognizable. With a laugh, he thought, ‘What are the odds?’ Just then, his headlights caught something moving across the street—a neighbor waving frantically for him to turn off the music. Embarrassed, he did—and never returned to that Circle K again.’

4. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled up to fill the tank, he spotted an unusual item in the Circle K parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. Curious, the driver approached it, only to discover inside a note reading: ‘Fill my tank, and I’ll give you free doughnuts tomorrow.’ The next morning, a fresh dozen of glazed treats appeared on the counter—anonymously donated by someone called ‘Your Secret Neighbor.’
